Pocket Positive from an old couple. It is chambered in 32 S&W Long, so ammo is available. I think we have a box or two over at our shop. It had been siting in a drawer for 50 years waiting for a chance to use it on a bad guy. During that time it gathered up quite a bit of light rust and discoloration. We bought it and decided to bring it back to life. Over the last few months we replaced a couple of worn internal parts, did a full engraving on it and did our deluxe Black Chromex finish on it. Nate made and fit a nice set of Ivory Corian grips to it. We did an action job on it and it is as tight as when it was new and now it is back to being a really nice little revolver. The Pocket Positive is just like the name says, perfect for the pocket. It is that small. Not sure on the date of manufacture. One of my books says 1910, the other says 1905. So sometime before WW1. The little gun should run somewhere in the $1800 to $1875, but I have it priced at $1495. Perfect for your wife or daughter.

Beautiful work on a fine old gun. That came out great.

Rare! Not to be confused w/Police Positive!

The Pocket Positive is a tiny frame 6-shot, slightly smaller than S&W J-frame. Most are 2-1/2”, very few longer like this. What a cool piece. I bet it’s around 100 yr. old! You’d have to check as all guns are different but many will shoot .32 ACP in a pinch. Just remember to point muzzle upward to eject the brass. Of course they will shoot .32 S&W (short), very classy and versatile.
